This past weekend, the plan of racing a 40k TT turned into hammering out a 100k road ride. Basically, it got cold again here all of the sudden; lows in the 30's. And the Monrovia 40k's start at 7:30a.m. So when we were to be starting, it was ~38*, and I have no desire to TT in that kind of cold unless it's crucial for stage race points or something. Call me a wuss (part wimp/part pussy), but putting in a TT effort w/ cold joints, etc seems like a good way to wind up injured.
So a couple of guys and I waited for the temps to rise and busted out the 100k route around Lake Monroe. This is a very hard route that I usually do only once a year or so. Plus it was still ~chilly~ out and pretty hella windy, so it was extra hard. We kind of killed it though. W/ just three of us we av'd just under 21mph, which is pretty good for that ride.
So, nothing new to report really. I feel like I haven't raced in forever, though I did a TT 8days ago. But I[m back to road racing this weekend in Ohio. A course that is supposed to be brutal w/ climbs featuring 20%+ grades. I tend to do okay on course like those...we'll see.
